How well Kodachrome holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 8°, Kodachrome gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brian Head does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Brian Head. Its top sits at 10,390 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
