How well Arethusa Way holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 12°, Arethusa Way gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 1,610 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.
