How well Bumble Bee holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 10°, Bumble Bee gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Granby does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Ski Granby. Its top sits at 8,830 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.
