How well Aludra holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 5°, Aludra gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 2,650 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.
