How well Way Home holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Way Home gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stratton does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 67th shadiest named run at Stratton. Its top sits at 3,090 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.
