How well Log Jam holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Log Jam gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Smugglers Notch does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 52nd shadiest named run at Smugglers Notch. Its top sits at 1,760 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.
