How well Julie's Vision holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 20°, Julie's Vision gets about 141% of the winter sun that flat ground at Copper does, December through March. That's sunnier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Copper. Its top sits at 12,250 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.
