How well unbound holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 22°, unbound gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 12,590 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.
