How well Old Goat holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 10°, Old Goat gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 2,610 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.
