How well Western Boundary holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 27°, Western Boundary gets about 155% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's sunnier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,990 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.
