How well Turn Roger holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 12°, Turn Roger gets about 118% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boreal does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Boreal. Its top sits at 7,650 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
