How well Boblsed holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Boblsed gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Holiday Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Holiday Valley. Its top sits at 1,860 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.
