How well Wandering Skis holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 11°, Wandering Skis gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Attitash does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 41st shadiest named run at Attitash. Its top sits at 1,990 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.
