How well Stickney Escape holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 8°, Stickney Escape gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 74th shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,620 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
