How well Mid Flume holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 7°, Mid Flume gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowshoe Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th sunniest named run at Snowshoe Mountain. Its top sits at 4,540 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
