Tiger drops 855 vertical feet over 2,879 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 480 feet below the top. That's steeper than 29% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 12th steepest of 98 named runs at Bogus Basin. It faces west.

How well Tiger holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 18°, Tiger gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th sunniest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 7,200 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.
