How well Apex Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 19°, Apex Ridge gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's sunnier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 151st sunniest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,440 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.
