How well Grande holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 28°, Grande gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 54th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,940 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.
