How well Majestic holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 17°, Majestic gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 7,550 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.
