How well Boardwalk holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northwest at an average 6°, Boardwalk gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at White Pass. Its top sits at 5,970 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.
