How well Powder Puff holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 13°, Powder Puff gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bridger Bowl does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th sunniest named run at Bridger Bowl. Its top sits at 7,410 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.
