How well Sunrise Blvd. holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northwest at an average 5°, Sunrise Blvd. gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boreal does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th sunniest named run at Boreal. Its top sits at 7,690 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.
