How well Thaynes Canyon holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 7°, Thaynes Canyon gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 155th sunniest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,520 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
