How well Oscar Barron's holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Oscar Barron's gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,540 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.
