How well White Lightning holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 20°, White Lightning gets about 45% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bridger Bowl does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Bridger Bowl. Its top sits at 6,820 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.
