How well Greg's Way holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing south at an average 3°, Greg's Way gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bear Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Bear Valley. Its top sits at 7,130 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
