How well Lower Arwine's holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 10°, Lower Arwine's gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 69th sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 5,070 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.
