How well Thirsty Vampire holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 19°, Thirsty Vampire gets about 49% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Bohemia does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 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.
