How well Black Bart holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 17°, Black Bart gets about 126% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Bohemia does, December through March. That's sunnier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 77th sunniest named run at Mount Bohemia. Its top sits at 1,290 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.
