How well Drop Off holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 11°, Drop Off gets about 123% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 2,510 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.
