How well Holiday holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southeast at an average 5°, Holiday gets about 110% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 9,140 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.
