How well Seldom Seen holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 16°, Seldom Seen gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 162nd shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,080 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
