How well Lower Cannon holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 13°, Lower Cannon gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 48th shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,640 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.
