How well Sunrise holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 21°, Sunrise gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at 49 Degrees North does, December through March. That's sunnier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th sunniest named run at 49 Degrees North. Its top sits at 5,490 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.
