How well Lower Warm Springs holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 18°, Lower Warm Springs gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sun Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 41st shadiest named run at Sun Valley. Its top sits at 7,260 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.
