How well Scree Slope holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 16°, Scree Slope gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brighton does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Brighton. Its top sits at 9,910 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.
