How well Lower Bypass holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 8°, Lower Bypass gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Beaver Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th sunniest named run at Beaver Mountain. Its top sits at 7,470 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.
