How well Slackline holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 5°, Slackline gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hemlock Resort does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd sunniest named run at Hemlock Resort. Its top sits at 3,850 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.
