How well Kircher's Corner holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northwest at an average 5°, Kircher's Corner gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boyne Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd sunniest named run at Boyne Mountain. Its top sits at 1,150 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.
