How well Where's Bob holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 19°, Where's Bob gets about 46% 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 27th shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,380 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.
