How well Mid River Lane holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Mid River Lane gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sun Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 48th shadiest named run at Sun Valley. Its top sits at 7,450 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.
