How well Kidderbrook Ravine holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 18°, Kidderbrook Ravine gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stratton does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Stratton. Its top sits at 3,570 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.
