How well Blind Ambition holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Blind Ambition gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 73rd shadiest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 2,750 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.
