How well Screaming Banshee holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Screaming Banshee gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Bohemia does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Mount Bohemia. Its top sits at 1,220 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.
