How well Emil's Mile holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 14°, Emil's Mile gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bridger Bowl does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Bridger Bowl. Its top sits at 7,760 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.
