How well Shindig holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 15°, Shindig gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd sunniest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 7,100 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
