How well Tree Line holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 11°, Tree Line gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Waterville Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th sunniest named run at Waterville Valley. Its top sits at 3,810 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.
