How well Gus Pasture holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 4°, Gus Pasture gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's shadier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 94th shadiest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 8,950 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.
