How well Bridges holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 8°, Bridges gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Telluride does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 53rd sunniest named run at Telluride. Its top sits at 9,900 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.
