How well Quantum Leap holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 17°, Quantum Leap gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Okemo. 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.
