Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Upper Wingding gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd shadiest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 2,690 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
