How well Bruce's holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 22°, Bruce's gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd shadiest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 9,310 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.
