How well Profile holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 21°, Profile gets about 44% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 4,030 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.
