How well Boomer's holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 10°, Boomer's gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at China Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at China Peak. Its top sits at 7,690 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
