How well Mid River Run holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 20°, Mid River Run gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sun Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 67th shadiest named run at Sun Valley. Its top sits at 7,940 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
