How well Corkscrew holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 17°, Corkscrew gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Seven Springs does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Seven Springs. Its top sits at 2,790 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.
