How well Clover Leaf holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 11°, Clover Leaf gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th sunniest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 8,700 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
