How well Turkey Shoot holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 12°, Turkey Shoot gets about 134% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 3,130 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.
