How well Sunset holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 10°, Sunset gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 57th shadiest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 3,050 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.
