How well Bermuda holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing west at an average 12°, Bermuda gets about 113% of the winter sun that flat ground at Smugglers Notch does, December through March. That's sunnier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Smugglers Notch. Its top sits at 2,400 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
