How well Snow Train holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 8°, Snow Train gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cranmore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Cranmore Mountain. Its top sits at 1,090 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.
