How well Sanctuary holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Sanctuary gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 138th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,570 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.
