How well 12 Transit holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 3°, 12 Transit gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 1,310 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.
