How well Wellington holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Wellington gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 95th sunniest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 10,520 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.
