32%of February days had at least 3 clear hours in a row.
22%of February days were clear all day.
A clear hour has under 30% cloud, the same test as a clear day. Each square is one hour over twenty winters of that month (about 600 hours), so a difference of a few points is chance. Faded months are when the lifts usually aren't running. Deer Valley shares its sky square with Park City Mountain, so their numbers match.

Grey: lifts closed · Lifts not running yet · one bar per week
Each week is the same twenty winters, 2006-07 to 2025-26, from the federal SNOTEL station near the mountain. The line is the share of that week's days that were fresh-snow days (4"+ in 48 hours, or 3" when it stayed below freezing); the top edge is 50% of the days, the dashed line 25%.
This winter's bars count the same way: fresh-snow days in each week so far, out of all the week's days, so a week's bar grows as it passes. Before opening they count every day, like the typical winter.
Lifts running: the dark bar marks weeks the lifts ran at least 3 days of the week in 14 or more of the 20 winters, or in 4 of the last 5 (snowmaking has moved some openings earlier); the thin one weeks they did less often Tap a week on the chart for the exact counts, or a week below the chart for its page.
Best weeks: the highest share of fresh-snow days among weeks with the dark lift bar. Clear skies: under 30% cloud from 9 AM to 4 PM, from the ERA5 weather record.
Every winter: the bar is fresh-snow days while the lifts ran. ~ marks a lift date that couldn't be found and uses the 2016-26 average instead. Tap a winter for its calendar.
