How well Cold Springs holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southeast at an average 4°, Cold Springs gets about 106% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boyne Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Boyne Mountain. Its top sits at 1,150 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.
