How well Volunteer holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Volunteer gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 114th sunniest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 11,190 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.
