How well Tumbler Woods holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 19°, Tumbler Woods gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarbush does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 61st shadiest named run at Sugarbush. Its top sits at 2,710 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.
