How well Ed's Run holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 17°, Ed's Run gets about 143% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitefish does, December through March. That's sunnier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Whitefish. Its top sits at 5,870 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.
