How well Ghat holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 13°, Ghat gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Saddleback Maine does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th shadiest named run at Saddleback Maine. Its top sits at 2,650 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.
