How well Detonator holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Detonator gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 115th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,420 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.
