How well Wintergreen holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Wintergreen gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brighton does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Brighton. Its top sits at 9,960 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.
