How well Shadows holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 19°, Shadows gets about 50% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,950 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.
