How well Middle Highway holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 7°, Middle Highway gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Attitash does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Attitash. Its top sits at 1,510 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.
