How well Baron's Run holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 15°, Baron's Run gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 3,160 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.
