How well Sepp's Run holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 16°, Sepp's Run gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stowe does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th shadiest named run at Stowe. Its top sits at 1,840 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.
