How well Alpha holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 7°, Alpha gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 50% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 1,490 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.
