How well Juanita holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 24°, Juanita gets about 45% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 3,460 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.
