How well Shaker Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 11°, Shaker Ridge gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 54th shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 6,960 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.
