How well Lower Greyhawk holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Lower Greyhawk gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sun Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 59th shadiest named run at Sun Valley. Its top sits at 6,150 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
