How well Oblivion holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 12°, Oblivion gets about 123% of the winter sun that flat ground at Waterville Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Waterville Valley. Its top sits at 3,450 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.
