How well Peak 8 Transfer holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 6°, Peak 8 Transfer gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 52nd shadiest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 10,640 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.
