How well Mickey's Margin holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 15°, Mickey's Margin gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,590 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.
