How well Boarder Cross holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Boarder Cross gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 88th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,800 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.
