How well Outer Bounds holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Outer Bounds gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,890 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.
