How well Banshee Cut-thru holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Banshee Cut-thru gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 66th shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,420 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.
