How well The Meadows holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, The Meadows gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boyne Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Boyne Mountain. Its top sits at 1,130 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.
