How well Frosty's Freeway holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 13°, Frosty's Freeway gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 11,270 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
