How well Snowshed Slope holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 9°, Snowshed Slope gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 53rd shadiest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 2,750 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
