How well 1st Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 24°, 1st Bowl gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 10,000 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
