How well Outback holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 7°, Outback gets about 114% of the winter sun that flat ground at Berkshire East does, December through March. That's sunnier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Berkshire East. Its top sits at 1,520 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
