How well Upper Cozy holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 19°, Upper Cozy gets about 46% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sun Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Sun Valley. Its top sits at 7,440 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.
