How well Schuss Boom holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 9°, Schuss Boom gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wolf Creek does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 58th sunniest named run at Wolf Creek. Its top sits at 10,590 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.
