How well Tommyknocker's Plunge holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 18°, Tommyknocker's Plunge gets about 128% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Bohemia does, December through March. That's sunnier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 72nd sunniest named run at Mount Bohemia. Its top sits at 1,300 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.
