How well Union Park holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 9°, Union Park gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Copper does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 90th shadiest named run at Copper. Its top sits at 11,860 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
