How well Kiwanis holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 7°, Kiwanis gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pine Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Pine Mountain. Its top sits at 1,480 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.
