How well Spiro holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 13°, Spiro gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 79th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 7,800 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.
