How well Bugaboo holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 9°, Bugaboo gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain Mi does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Crystal Mountain Mi. Its top sits at 1,090 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.
