How well Ectasy holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 22°, Ectasy gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 9,120 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.
