How well Back For More holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 17°, Back For More gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 10,010 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
