How well Snowledge holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 11°, Snowledge gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Holiday Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th shadiest named run at Holiday Valley. Its top sits at 1,990 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.
