How well B-24 holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 16°, B-24 gets about 113% of the winter sun that flat ground at Arizona Snowbowl does, December through March. That's sunnier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Arizona Snowbowl. Its top sits at 10,390 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
