How well Celebration holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 18°, Celebration gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 6,290 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.
