How well Outer Limits holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 23°, Outer Limits gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 47th sunniest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 3,260 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
