How well Deer Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 20°, Deer Bowl gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at June Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at June Mountain. Its top sits at 10,100 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.
