How well Skyeburst - Middle holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 17°, Skyeburst - Middle gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 63rd sunniest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 2,860 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.
