How well Beyond the Edge holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 30°, Beyond the Edge gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sundance does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Sundance. Its top sits at 7,160 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.
