How well Lift Line holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 16°, Lift Line gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 2,390 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.
