How well Parc XL holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Parc XL gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stoneham does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Stoneham. Its top sits at 1,250 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.
