How well Missing Link holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 18°, Missing Link gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 3,190 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.
