How well Bear Run holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 8°, Bear Run gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Berkshire East does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Berkshire East. Its top sits at 1,230 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
