How well Upper Timberline holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 15°, Upper Timberline gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 87th sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 3,070 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.
