How well Robin's Run holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 15°, Robin's Run gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Smugglers Notch does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 55th shadiest named run at Smugglers Notch. Its top sits at 3,350 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.
