How well Swinger holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Swinger gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 113th sunniest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 10,700 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.
