How well Flintlock Extension holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 14°, Flintlock Extension gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gunstock does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Gunstock. Its top sits at 1,530 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
