How well Easy Way Down holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 6°, Easy Way Down gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 6,310 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.
