How well Ego Alley holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Ego Alley gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd sunniest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 2,970 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
