How well Red Giant holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 8°, Red Giant gets about 121% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Bohemia does, December through March. That's sunnier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 83rd sunniest named run at Mount Bohemia. Its top sits at 1,140 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
