How well Gremlin's Gulch holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 13°, Gremlin's Gulch gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 9,890 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.
