How well Upper Wanderer holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 8°, Upper Wanderer gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stratton does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 51st shadiest named run at Stratton. Its top sits at 3,850 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.
