How well Upper Scoot holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Upper Scoot gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarloaf does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 81st shadiest named run at Sugarloaf. Its top sits at 2,990 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.
