How well Blue Devil holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 15°, Blue Devil gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Saddleback Maine does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Saddleback Maine. Its top sits at 3,260 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
