How well Treasure Run holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Treasure Run gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Smugglers Notch does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd shadiest named run at Smugglers Notch. Its top sits at 2,630 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.
