How well Lower Wingding holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 11°, Lower Wingding gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 1,980 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.
