How well Upper Arrow holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 14°, Upper Arrow gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 91st sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 2,640 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.
