How well Wayne's World holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 15°, Wayne's World gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Burke Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st shadiest named run at Burke Mountain. Its top sits at 2,070 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.
