How well Bobcat holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 33°, Bobcat gets about 36% of the winter sun that flat ground at Grand Targhee does, December through March. That's shadier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Grand Targhee. Its top sits at 9,580 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.
