How well Boisé holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 8°, Boisé gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 1,780 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
