How well Devil's Drop holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 18°, Devil's Drop gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brighton does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Brighton. Its top sits at 9,740 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.
