How well EZ Way holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 8°, EZ Way gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Holiday Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Holiday Valley. Its top sits at 1,850 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.
