How well Bear Cub holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northeast at an average 7°, Bear Cub gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 71st sunniest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 3,280 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
