How well Learning area holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 7°, Learning area gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Burke Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 52nd shadiest named run at Burke Mountain. Its top sits at 1,250 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.
