How well Wedding Ring holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 27°, Wedding Ring gets about 49% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sundance does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Sundance. Its top sits at 7,180 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.
