How well Sundown holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Sundown gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 103rd sunniest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 11,250 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.
