How well Pinball Alley holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Pinball Alley gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Attitash does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 46th shadiest named run at Attitash. Its top sits at 1,120 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.
