How well Johnny Mac holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 6°, Johnny Mac gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boyne Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Boyne Mountain. Its top sits at 1,020 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.
