How well The Pines holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 21°, The Pines gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 41st shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 9,120 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.
