How well Snowball Point holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing north at an average 5°, Snowball Point gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baldy does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Mt Baldy. Its top sits at 7,840 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.
