Solarium

The Solarium is the depression wedged between the top of Lenawee Lift, the top of Zuma Lift and the Lazy J Rope Tow. It is a naturally occurring hole that catches a whole lot of snow. Above the tow, there is a cornice that the patrollers "kick" during and after storm events. The snowcat drivers frequently farm snow out of its eastern side. In early Summer, there can be a small pond of water in the lowest point. From just about anywhere along its rim, the view is pretty nice.
