How well Skyeburst - Lower holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 13°, Skyeburst - Lower gets about 128% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's sunnier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 2,650 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.
