How well Rivendell holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 13°, Rivendell gets about 133% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Bohemia does, December through March. That's sunnier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 58th sunniest named run at Mount Bohemia. Its top sits at 920 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.
