How well Waterfall holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 13°, Waterfall 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 87th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 7,890 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.
