How well Buckkeye holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 15°, Buckkeye gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 166th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 9,240 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.
