Blue Snow Valley, CA
Bubble Gum drops 169 vertical feet over 1,287 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 690 feet below the top. That's steeper than 19% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 20th steepest of 28 named runs at Snow Valley. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 8°, Bubble Gum gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Snow Valley. Its top sits at 7,450 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.
