How well Idler holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 6°, Idler gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 63rd shadiest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 2,460 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.
