How well Bailout holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 7°, Bailout gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarbush does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 71st shadiest named run at Sugarbush. Its top sits at 2,900 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.
