How well Banshee Lift Line holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 16°, Banshee Lift Line gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,310 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.
