How well Sunshine holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Sunshine gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Soda Springs does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Soda Springs. Its top sits at 6,930 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.
