How well Iroquois holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 20°, Iroquois gets about 49% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 2,730 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.
