How well The Highway holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 12°, The Highway gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 145th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,940 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.
