How well Holiday Run holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 3°, Holiday Run gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Holiday Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th shadiest named run at Holiday Valley. Its top sits at 1,880 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.
