How well Bou-Bou holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 18°, Bou-Bou gets about 58% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 2,790 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.
