How well Nymph holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 6°, Nymph gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Saddleback Maine does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 49th shadiest named run at Saddleback Maine. Its top sits at 3,220 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
