How well Tourist Trap holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 12°, Tourist Trap gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 1,480 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.
