How well Tri-Color holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 11°, Tri-Color gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Saddleback Maine does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 46th shadiest named run at Saddleback Maine. Its top sits at 3,980 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.
