How well Maiden Lane holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 6°, Maiden Lane gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sun Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th shadiest named run at Sun Valley. Its top sits at 7,470 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.
