How well Victor holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 15°, Victor gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boyne Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Boyne Mountain. Its top sits at 1,150 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
