How well Killink holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 6°, Killink gets about 111% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd sunniest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 3,550 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
