How well The Link holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 9°, The Link gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th sunniest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 1,690 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.
