How well In the Woods holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 6°, In the Woods gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boyne Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Boyne Mountain. Its top sits at 1,010 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.
