How well Upper Myth Maker holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 15°, Upper Myth Maker gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Attitash does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Attitash. Its top sits at 1,680 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.
