How well Backside holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Backside gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Beaver Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st sunniest named run at Beaver Mountain.

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.
