How well Lower Highway holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 9°, Lower Highway gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Attitash does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th shadiest named run at Attitash. Its top sits at 1,070 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.
