How well Bellmar Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 10°, Bellmar Bowl gets about 121% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's sunnier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 11,040 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
