How well Stitch Line holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 18°, Stitch Line gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th shadiest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 3,260 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.
