How well Gentoo holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 7°, Gentoo gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cranmore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th sunniest named run at Cranmore Mountain. Its top sits at 680 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
