How well Bretton's Wood holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Bretton's Wood gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,220 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.
