How well Small Change holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 11°, Small Change gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Granby does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Ski Granby. Its top sits at 9,140 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.
