How well Paulie's Folly holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 22°, Paulie's Folly gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 54th shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,660 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.
