How much snow does park city get?

Title is not exactly the question I want to ask, but here it goes. Every edit I ever see of PC there is some dirt covered slope in the background/ to the side of the run. I know not all of the videos I watch take place late season. Has PC been having some bad seasons or is it always like that? I went to their site/ mountain stats and nothing seems out of the ordinary...which is why im a bit confused.
Obviously im not from utah.

The big hill you keep seeing is a south facing slope of the mountain that is behind the pipe/park and yeah it doesnt hold a ton of snow due to it being pounded by the sun all year long. Other than that, pc mountians generally gets less snow than the other mountains in utah but not so much less it effect snowpack. This year has been a "below average" year and last year was the lowest in like 10 years. But, like I said, anything south facing in pc gets crushed by the sun.

Also, this year and last year early season was mostly man made so the surrounding hills didn't have much snow on them but usually jan-march everything is pretty covered up. Right now PC is lacking snow and its gonna be ribbons of snow by closing day but its all good.
