How well Yours holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 10°, Yours gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boreal does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Boreal. Its top sits at 7,260 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.
