How well Engen holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 18°, Engen gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 7,520 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.
