How well Last Chance holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 20°, Last Chance gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sundance does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th sunniest named run at Sundance. Its top sits at 7,300 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
