How well Presidential holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 6°, Presidential gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 1,910 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.
