How well Sutton-IK holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 13°, Sutton-IK gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 2,210 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.
