How well Bib's Bumps holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 16°, Bib's Bumps gets about 153% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's sunnier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 6,170 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.
