How well Rusty Nail holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 9°, Rusty Nail gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 2,540 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.
