How well South Slope holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 11°, South Slope gets about 96% 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 26th sunniest named run at Cranmore Mountain. Its top sits at 1,080 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.
