How well Springboard holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 13°, Springboard gets about 122% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's sunnier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 7,300 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.
