How well Slack Waters holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Slack Waters gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Labrador Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Labrador Mountain. Its top sits at 1,710 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
