The Bowl drops 428 vertical feet over 1,676 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 370 feet below the top. That's steeper than 61% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 21 named runs at Warner Canyon. It faces north.

How well The Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 15°, The Bowl gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Warner Canyon does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Warner Canyon. Its top sits at 6,160 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.
