How well Lower Rumrunner holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 15°, Lower Rumrunner gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 1,500 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.
