How well Bonar's Pass holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 18°, Bonar's Pass gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 56th shadiest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 10,140 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.
