How well Cherry Mountain Slide holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Cherry Mountain Slide gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,390 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.
