How well Boomerang holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southeast at an average 7°, Boomerang gets about 110% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,170 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.
