How well War Zone holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 19°, War Zone 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 43rd shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 9,820 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.
