How well Flaming Eddie's holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 23°, Flaming Eddie's gets about 41% of the winter sun that flat ground at Burke Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Burke Mountain. Its top sits at 2,480 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.
