How well Ace holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 7°, Ace gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Granby does, December through March. That's sunnier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th sunniest named run at Ski Granby. Its top sits at 8,400 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.
