How well Tin Man holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 16°, Tin Man gets about 109% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th sunniest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 3,220 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.
