How well Super holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 17°, Super gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 2,450 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.
