How well Freedom holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 18°, Freedom gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bridger Bowl does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th sunniest named run at Bridger Bowl. Its top sits at 7,810 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.
