Boondoggle drops 200 vertical feet over 2,541 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 83% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 58th steepest of 69 named runs at Silver Mountain. It faces northeast.

How well Boondoggle holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 5°, Boondoggle gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 46th shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 5,200 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.
