How well Whiskey River holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 15°, Whiskey River gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 54th shadiest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 12,610 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.
