How well Number 6 holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 4°, Number 6 gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stratton does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 72nd shadiest named run at Stratton. Its top sits at 2,700 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.
