How well Bear View holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 7°, Bear View gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th shadiest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 2,490 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.
