How well Liberty holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing west at an average 24°, Liberty gets about 115% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's sunnier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th sunniest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 7,270 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.
