How well Mid Greyhawk holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 23°, Mid Greyhawk gets about 43% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sun Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Sun Valley. Its top sits at 7,050 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.
