How well Gunnar Slope holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 13°, Gunnar Slope gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Seven Springs does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at Seven Springs. Its top sits at 2,970 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.
