How well Boulder Bumps holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Boulder Bumps gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 75th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 9,040 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.
