How well Down'n Under holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Down'n Under 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 34th shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,160 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.
