How well The Bad Seed holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 14°, The Bad Seed 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 8th shadiest named run at Mount Bohemia. Its top sits at 1,440 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.
