How well Twinkle holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 9°, Twinkle gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kissing Bridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Kissing Bridge. Its top sits at 1,720 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
