How well 3D holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 17°, 3D gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 76th shadiest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 1,980 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
