Bambi drops 350 vertical feet over 2,635 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 20 feet below the top. That's steeper than 59% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 43rd steepest of 44 named runs at Sipapu. It faces northeast.

How well Bambi holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Bambi gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sipapu does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Sipapu. Its top sits at 8,640 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.
