How well Lowest 4 O'Clock holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northeast at an average 4°, Lowest 4 O'Clock gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 70th sunniest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 9,700 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
