How well Sesame Street West holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northeast at an average 6°, Sesame Street West gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st sunniest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 9,130 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.
