How well Lodgepole holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 14°, Lodgepole gets about 77% 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 92nd shadiest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 9,560 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.
