How well Peachy`s Peril holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 15°, Peachy`s Peril gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Saddleback Maine does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Saddleback Maine. Its top sits at 3,580 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.
