How well Bruno holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 16°, Bruno gets about 58% of the winter sun that flat ground at Soldier Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Soldier Mountain. Its top sits at 6,880 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.
