How well Boundary Road holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 15°, Boundary Road gets about 123% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th sunniest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 6,410 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
