How well Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 17°, Ridge gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sun Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 69th shadiest named run at Sun Valley. Its top sits at 8,850 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.
