How well Mambo holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Mambo gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 77th shadiest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 9,430 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
