How well Stickney 4 holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 13°, Stickney 4 gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,550 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.
