How well Humphrey's Ledge holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 16°, Humphrey's Ledge gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Attitash does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 54th shadiest named run at Attitash. Its top sits at 2,270 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
