How well Baby Doe holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 9°, Baby Doe gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Buttermilk does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th shadiest named run at Buttermilk. Its top sits at 8,530 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.
