How well Comeback holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 8°, Comeback gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 49th shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 6,320 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.
