How well Midway holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Midway gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunlight Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 48th shadiest named run at Sunlight Mountain. Its top sits at 8,730 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.
