How well King's Crown holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, King's Crown gets about 73% 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 90th 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.
