How well Sun Bowl Trail holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 8°, Sun Bowl Trail gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Panorama does, December through March. That's sunnier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th sunniest named run at Panorama. Its top sits at 6,060 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.

Nearby at Panorama

Measured by ZRankings from 30-meter elevation data from Natural Resources Canada, too coarse to measure steepness. Steepest pitch is the steepest stretch of about 50 vertical feet along the skiable line. Run lines come from OpenStreetMap and can sit a little off the skied path.
