How well Lost Prospector holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 14°, Lost Prospector 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 86th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 9,260 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.
