How well Dynamite holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 20°, Dynamite 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 111th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,780 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.
