How well Dieppe holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Dieppe gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Blue Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Blue Mountain. Its top sits at 1,370 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.
