How well Coppertone holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Coppertone gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Copper does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 99th shadiest named run at Copper. Its top sits at 11,660 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
