How well Lower Bonanza holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Lower Bonanza gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 49th shadiest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 10,240 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.
