How well State Fair holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 9°, State Fair gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd sunniest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 2,080 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
