How well Sunrise holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 9°, Sunrise gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at June Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th shadiest named run at June Mountain. Its top sits at 10,140 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.
