How well Lower Ravine holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 12°, Lower Ravine gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 69th shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,690 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.
