How well Paradise Chutes holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 25°, Paradise Chutes gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,520 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.
