How well Little Spruce holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 7°, Little Spruce gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Berkshire East does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Berkshire East. Its top sits at 1,000 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.
