How well Lift Line holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 18°, Lift Line gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Berkshire East does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Berkshire East. Its top sits at 1,530 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.
