How well McDonald's Meadow holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 21°, McDonald's Meadow gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 99th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 9,280 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.
