Bridgeway drops 65 vertical feet over 420 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 44% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 135th steepest of 141 named runs at Copper. It faces north.

How well Bridgeway holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 9°, Bridgeway gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Copper does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 76th shadiest named run at Copper. Its top sits at 9,870 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.
