Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 8°, Lower Boomerang gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Telluride does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 81st shadiest named run at Telluride. Its top sits at 9,830 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
