How well Blazer holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Blazer gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th shadiest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 1,290 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.
