How well Avalanche Slope holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 15°, Avalanche Slope gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Seven Springs does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th shadiest named run at Seven Springs. Its top sits at 2,840 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.
