How well Diamond Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 9°, Diamond Ridge gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 75th shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,390 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.
