How well Rolling Thunder holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 17°, Rolling Thunder gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 112th sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 2,420 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.
