How well Ivy's Run holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 12°, Ivy's Run gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunlight Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th shadiest named run at Sunlight Mountain. Its top sits at 8,850 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.
