How well Monday Mourning holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 17°, Monday Mourning gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 2,050 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.
