How well Walter Moisan holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 14°, Walter Moisan gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stoneham does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th sunniest named run at Stoneham. Its top sits at 1,790 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.
