How well Platinum Woods holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 22°, Platinum Woods gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 131st shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,450 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.
