How well Upper Ravine holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 13°, Upper Ravine 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 4,020 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.
