How well Brill's thrill holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 27°, Brill's thrill gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 106th sunniest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 12,160 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.
