How well The Junkyard holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 11°, The Junkyard gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th sunniest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 2,080 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.
