How well Rail Fun Park holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Rail Fun Park gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Holiday Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th shadiest named run at Holiday Valley. Its top sits at 1,700 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.
