How well Broken Arrow holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 13°, Broken Arrow gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,250 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.
