How well Going South holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 11°, Going South gets about 110% of the winter sun that flat ground at Blue Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Blue Mountain. Its top sits at 1,410 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.
