How well D’kine Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 22°, D’kine Bowl gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd sunniest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 11,090 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.
