How well Senator/Laraway holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 15°, Senator/Laraway gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Blue Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Blue Mountain. Its top sits at 1,380 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.
