P1 drops 565 vertical feet over 990 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 43° about 40 feet below the top. That's steeper than 85% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 151 named runs at Mammoth. It faces north.

How well P1 holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 35°, P1 gets about 30% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's shadier than 100% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 10,440 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.
