How well Doodlebug holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 18°, Doodlebug gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Saddleback Maine does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Saddleback Maine. Its top sits at 3,270 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.
