How well McConkey's Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 21°, McConkey's Bowl gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 76th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 9,630 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.
