How well Devil's Dive holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 14°, Devil's Dive gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boyne Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Boyne Mountain. Its top sits at 1,140 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.
