How well Crazy Bones holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 13°, Crazy Bones gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 9,370 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
