How well Galaxy Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 6°, Galaxy Bowl gets about 112% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 1,300 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
