How well Bashful holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Bashful gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sierra-At-Tahoe does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at Sierra-At-Tahoe. Its top sits at 7,510 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.
