How well Bee Line holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 19°, Bee Line gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's sunnier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 52nd sunniest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 7,310 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.
