How well Down Under holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Down Under gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Bohemia does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Mount Bohemia. Its top sits at 1,340 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.
