How well Escapade holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 19°, Escapade gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 3,930 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.
