How well Grizzly Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 27°, Grizzly Bowl gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sundance does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Sundance. Its top sits at 7,700 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.
