How well Arcade holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 13°, Arcade gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Attitash does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Attitash. Its top sits at 1,010 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.
