How well Rock Pond holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 7°, Rock Pond gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Saddleback Maine does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd shadiest named run at Saddleback Maine. Its top sits at 2,730 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.
