How well epiphany holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 33°, epiphany gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 60th shadiest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 12,420 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.
