How well Thrasher holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 25°, Thrasher gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,120 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.
