How well Deer Run holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 7°, Deer Run gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boyne Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th sunniest named run at Boyne Mountain. Its top sits at 1,080 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.
