How well Screaming Babies holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 35°, Screaming Babies gets about 176% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 100% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 6,760 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.
