How well Britton holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 7°, Britton gets about 122% of the winter sun that flat ground at Discovery does, December through March. That's sunnier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Discovery. Its top sits at 6,950 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.
