How well Peerless holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 18°, Peerless gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 58th shadiest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 11,080 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.
