How well Reecer holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 17°, Reecer gets about 128% of the winter sun that flat ground at Discovery does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Discovery. Its top sits at 6,820 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.
