How well St. George holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 17°, St. George gets about 130% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitecap Mountains does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Whitecap Mountains. Its top sits at 1,750 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
