How well Sally's Way holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 9°, Sally's Way gets about 116% of the winter sun that flat ground at Willamette does, December through March. That's sunnier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th sunniest named run at Willamette. Its top sits at 5,550 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.
