How well Sunrise, EZ Way holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Sunrise, EZ Way gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Holiday Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Holiday Valley. Its top sits at 1,950 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.
