How well Snoozer holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 13°, Snoozer gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Holiday Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Holiday Valley. Its top sits at 1,860 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.
