How well Bluebell holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 11°, Bluebell gets about 113% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's sunnier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 11,210 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
