How well Tree Top Way holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Tree Top Way gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stratton does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 61st shadiest named run at Stratton. Its top sits at 2,450 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.
