How well Cascade holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Cascade gets about 69% 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 38th shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 1,570 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.
