How well Highlander holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 5°, Highlander gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 66th shadiest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 2,740 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.
