How well Lower Robinson Run holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Lower Robinson Run gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Swain Resort does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Swain Resort. Its top sits at 1,510 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.
