Mountain snow
The basin gets heavy snow, and drifts freeze bottom seals to the slab. Clearing the threshold before opening the door protects the seal and the opener.
Snyderville covers much of the Snyderville Basin around Kimball Junction, Jeremy Ranch and Pinebrook, just outside Park City. Many homes here are full-time residences facing real mountain winters.
The Snyderville Basin sits high, and winter is a big part of life here.
The basin gets heavy snow, and drifts freeze bottom seals to the slab. Clearing the threshold before opening the door protects the seal and the opener.
Many homes in Pinebrook and Jeremy Ranch sit on sloped lots with steep driveways. Water and snow run toward the door, and uneven slabs leave gaps.
At this elevation, the sun is strong and the nights are cold. Wood doors dry out, weatherstripping cracks and springs work harder in the cold.
Snyderville, Summit County Settled in 1865 and named for G. G. Snyder, about 4 miles northwest of Park City.
The basin has a lot of 1980s, 1990s and 2000s homes with two- and three-car garages, plus newer homes and townhomes near Kimball Junction. Many original springs and openers are now at the end of their life.
An insulated door and good seals make a big difference in comfort.
Local tip: Before winter, run a quick test: pull the release and lift the door halfway by hand. If it won't stay put, the springs need adjusting before the cold hits.
