How well Lower Beginner's Luck holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 7°, Lower Beginner's Luck gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cranmore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th sunniest named run at Cranmore Mountain. Its top sits at 950 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.
