How well Vista Way holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Vista Way gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 4,040 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.
