How well Wrangler holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 21°, Wrangler gets about 108% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brighton does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Brighton. Its top sits at 10,430 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
