How well Kinderpark holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 6°, Kinderpark gets about 112% of the winter sun that flat ground at Waterville Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Waterville Valley. Its top sits at 1,900 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
