How well Good Chance X-Cut holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 9°, Good Chance X-Cut gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarloaf does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 74th shadiest named run at Sugarloaf. Its top sits at 2,900 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.
