How well Avalon holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Avalon gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 49th shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,630 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.
