How well Nail Driver holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 22°, Nail Driver gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 64th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,170 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.
