How well Snow Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Snow Bowl gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Snow Valley. Its top sits at 7,590 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
