How well Lazy Man's holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 16°, Lazy Man's gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,430 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.
