How well Boundary Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 21°, Boundary Bowl gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wolf Creek does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd shadiest named run at Wolf Creek. Its top sits at 11,720 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.
