How well Grey Ghost holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 15°, Grey Ghost gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Saddleback Maine does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Saddleback Maine. Its top sits at 3,540 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.
