How well Sundance holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 7°, Sundance gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 1,310 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.
