How well Old Comeback Trail holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 7°, Old Comeback Trail gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 109th shadiest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 8,970 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.
