How well Constellation holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 17°, Constellation gets about 120% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's sunnier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st sunniest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 9,520 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
