How well Scooby Doo holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 26°, Scooby Doo gets about 37% of the winter sun that flat ground at Burke Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Burke Mountain. Its top sits at 2,790 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.
