How well Mustang holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 15°, Mustang gets about 119% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th sunniest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 11,510 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.
