How well Caper holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 8°, Caper gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 66th sunniest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 3,140 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.
