How well Pumpkin holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 6°, Pumpkin gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th sunniest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 8,850 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.
