How well Painted horse holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southeast at an average 7°, Painted horse gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 54th sunniest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,730 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
