How well Troll Haven holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 15°, Troll Haven gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 6,760 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.
