How well Quantum Leap holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 21°, Quantum Leap gets about 138% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's sunnier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,920 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.
