How well Snag Park holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 13°, Snag Park gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Vail does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 83rd shadiest named run at Vail. Its top sits at 10,930 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.
