How well Double Dare Ya holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 19°, Double Dare Ya gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 1,830 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.
