How well Wapiti holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 14°, Wapiti gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 53rd sunniest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,470 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
