How well Burntwood holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Burntwood gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 68th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,900 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
