How well Bourbon Street holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 9°, Bourbon Street gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Waterville Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Waterville Valley. Its top sits at 2,500 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.
