How well Growler holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 26°, Growler gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's sunnier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 82nd sunniest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 3,170 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
