How well Last Chance holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 21°, Last Chance gets about 149% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's sunnier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 7,470 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.
