How well Bill's Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 27°, Bill's Bowl gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,280 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
