How well Country Boy holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 12°, Country Boy gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 98th sunniest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 10,730 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.
