How well Village Run holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 6°, Village Run gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Northstar does, December through March. That's sunnier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st sunniest named run at Northstar. Its top sits at 6,840 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.
