How well North Slope holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 13°, North Slope gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cranmore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th sunniest named run at Cranmore Mountain. Its top sits at 1,170 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
