How well Snow Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 15°, Snow Bowl gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th sunniest named run at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain. Its top sits at 6,420 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
