How well Bambino holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 11°, Bambino gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sandia Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Sandia Peak. Its top sits at 8,980 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.
