How well Easy Way holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Easy Way gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Giants Ridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Giants Ridge. Its top sits at 1,830 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.
