Juniper drops 319 vertical feet over 1,411 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 1,120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 25% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 120th steepest of 151 named runs at Mammoth. It faces east.

How well Juniper holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 13°, Juniper gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 8,930 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.
