How well Vertigo holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 21°, Vertigo gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stratton does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 68th shadiest named run at Stratton. Its top sits at 3,310 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.
