How well Five Trees holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 28°, Five Trees gets about 108% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 50th sunniest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,970 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
