How well 6 Bee-bop holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 6°, 6 Bee-bop gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 49th shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 2,060 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.
