How well High Peak holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 30°, High Peak gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 64th sunniest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 9,100 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
