How well Domino holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 22°, Domino gets about 44% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarbush does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Sugarbush. Its top sits at 2,870 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.
