How well Snowdance holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Snowdance gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Berkshire East does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Berkshire East. Its top sits at 1,150 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.
