How well Solbright holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 7°, Solbright gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Solitude does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Solitude. Its top sits at 9,630 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
