Mambo drops 363 vertical feet over 1,132 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 23% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 22nd steepest of 38 named runs at Hoodoo. It faces north.

How well Mambo holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 19°, Mambo gets about 47% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hoodoo does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Hoodoo. Its top sits at 5,660 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.
