How well Carriage Road holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 13°, Carriage Road gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Burke Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Burke Mountain. Its top sits at 3,130 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.
