How well Heckler holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Heckler gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 88th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 7,620 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.
