How well Crosscut holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 6°, Crosscut gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowshoe Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th shadiest named run at Snowshoe Mountain. Its top sits at 4,760 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.
