How well Powder Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 7°, Powder Bowl gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kelly Canyon does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th shadiest named run at Kelly Canyon. Its top sits at 6,330 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
