How well Long John holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 9°, Long John gets about 108% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th sunniest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 3,570 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.
