How well White Bark Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 15°, White Bark Bowl gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 65th shadiest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 9,690 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.
