How well Boundary holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 4°, Boundary gets about 112% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kelly Canyon does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Kelly Canyon. Its top sits at 6,230 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.
