How well Parrot holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 10°, Parrot gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Bohemia does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 105th sunniest named run at Mount Bohemia. Its top sits at 1,130 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
