How well Bounce Board holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 18°, Bounce Board gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 55th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,070 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.
