How well Mambo Meadows holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 14°, Mambo Meadows gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 6,570 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.
