How well Parkway holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Parkway gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 62nd shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 9,720 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.
