How well Bon Diablo holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 20°, Bon Diablo gets about 45% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,260 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.
