How well Short Cut holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 8°, Short Cut gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stoneham does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Stoneham. Its top sits at 1,520 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
