How well Boardwalk holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 4°, Boardwalk gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powderhorn does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd shadiest named run at Powderhorn. Its top sits at 8,390 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.
