How well Plummet holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 18°, Plummet gets about 52% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 3,570 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.
