How well Blind Faith holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 14°, Blind Faith gets about 120% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 2,920 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
