How well Cotillion holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 16°, Cotillion gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarbush does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 55th sunniest named run at Sugarbush. Its top sits at 3,020 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.
