How well Specter holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 25°, Specter gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 9,210 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.
