How well Christiana holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 6°, Christiana gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stowe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 79th sunniest named run at Stowe. Its top sits at 2,500 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.
