How well Claim Jumper holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 10°, Claim Jumper gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 48th shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 7,050 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.
