How well Suncatcher holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 9°, Suncatcher gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 64th sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 2,260 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
