How well Twilight holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 15°, Twilight gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hunter Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Hunter Mountain. Its top sits at 2,470 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.
