How well L-Hill holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 15°, L-Hill gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Blue Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Blue Mountain. Its top sits at 1,220 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.
