How well King's Landing holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 20°, King's Landing gets about 49% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarloaf does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th shadiest named run at Sugarloaf. Its top sits at 3,420 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.
