How well Skyway Ledges holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Skyway Ledges gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 2,690 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.
