How well Eagle's Flight holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 20°, Eagle's Flight gets about 147% of the winter sun that flat ground at Willamette does, December through March. That's sunnier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Willamette. Its top sits at 6,370 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.
