How well Booger Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 17°, Booger Ridge gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,510 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.
