How well Bunker holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 13°, Bunker gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's sunnier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd sunniest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 9,260 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
