How well Intuition holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Intuition gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th shadiest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 12,290 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.
