How well Smooth Sail'n holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 8°, Smooth Sail'n gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 1,460 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
