Vista Dome drops 110 vertical feet over 661 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 270 feet below the top. That's steeper than 54% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 141st steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces southeast.

How well Vista Dome holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 10°, Vista Dome gets about 119% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's sunnier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,170 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.
