How well Lucky Pitch holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 12°, Lucky Pitch gets about 111% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cranmore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th sunniest named run at Cranmore Mountain. Its top sits at 910 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
