How well Nor'easter - Lower holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southeast at an average 5°, Nor'easter - Lower gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th sunniest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 1,310 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.
