How well Bushwacker holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 6°, Bushwacker gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pico Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Pico Mountain. Its top sits at 2,630 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
