How well French Fry holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 8°, French Fry gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 41st sunniest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 6,040 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
