How well Sleeper holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 19°, Sleeper gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,590 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.
