How well Northridge Expressway holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 7°, Northridge Expressway gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarbush does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th sunniest named run at Sugarbush. Its top sits at 2,670 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
