How well Parkway Exit holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 15°, Parkway Exit gets about 130% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whiteface Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Whiteface Mountain. Its top sits at 1,690 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.
