How well Little Sister holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Little Sister gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th shadiest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 1,230 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.
