How well Exterminator holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 23°, Exterminator gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarbush does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd shadiest named run at Sugarbush. Its top sits at 3,750 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.
