How well Gary's holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 19°, Gary's gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 46th shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,400 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.
