How well Tin Can holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 21°, Tin Can gets about 42% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 2,190 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.
