How well Golden Glades holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 14°, Golden Glades gets about 40% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 7,740 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.
