How well Sunset Slope holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 12°, Sunset Slope gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Seven Springs does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Seven Springs. Its top sits at 2,740 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.
