How well BX Express holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 14°, BX Express gets about 142% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's sunnier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st sunniest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,070 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.

Nearby at Silver Star
