How well Ginger Bread holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 8°, Ginger Bread gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 8,710 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.
