Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Lower Sundown gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 93rd sunniest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 10,310 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.
