How well Puma Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 16°, Puma Bowl gets about 134% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's sunnier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 9,470 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.
