How well The Parks holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 7°, The Parks gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunlight Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Sunlight Mountain. Its top sits at 9,650 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.
