How well Mid-Station holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 8°, Mid-Station gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowshoe Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th sunniest named run at Snowshoe Mountain. Its top sits at 4,080 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.
