How well Erika's Gold holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 22°, Erika's Gold gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 119th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,480 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.
