How well Belt Parkway holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Belt Parkway gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hunter Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Hunter Mountain. Its top sits at 3,170 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
