How well Upper Crowning Glory holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 16°, Upper Crowning Glory gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 88th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 9,310 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.
