How well Dazzler holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 3°, Dazzler gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Saddleback Maine does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Saddleback Maine. Its top sits at 4,000 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.
