How well Silver Star holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Silver Star gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 70th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 7,580 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.
