How well Sly Fox holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Sly Fox gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,120 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.
