How well Cascade holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Cascade gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 69th shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,600 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
