How well Sacajawea holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 14°, Sacajawea gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bridger Bowl does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Bridger Bowl. Its top sits at 7,220 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
