How well Ridgeline holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Ridgeline gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain. Its top sits at 6,640 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.
