How well Binx's Bumper holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 29°, Binx's Bumper gets about 41% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 9,480 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.
