How well ZZYZX Park holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, ZZYZX Park gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow Summit does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Snow Summit. Its top sits at 7,790 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
