How well Turkey Trot holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Turkey Trot gets about 70% 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 72nd shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,190 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.
