How well Enchanted Forest holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 5°, Enchanted Forest gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunlight Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd shadiest named run at Sunlight Mountain. Its top sits at 8,540 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.
