How well Brisk Walk holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 5°, Brisk Walk gets about 114% of the winter sun that flat ground at Vail does, December through March. That's sunnier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd sunniest named run at Vail. Its top sits at 9,270 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
