How well Deer Run holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 7°, Deer Run gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Berkshire East does, December through March. That's shadier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th shadiest named run at Berkshire East. Its top sits at 1,190 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.
