How well Lower West Meadow holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Lower West Meadow gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stratton does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd shadiest named run at Stratton. Its top sits at 3,230 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.
