How well Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 17°, Bowl gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 6,650 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
