How well Diablo holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 31°, Diablo gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 7,560 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.
