How well Crash and Burn holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 8°, Crash and Burn gets about 131% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Spokane does, December through March. That's sunnier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Mt Spokane. Its top sits at 4,860 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.
