How well Slide 7 holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Slide 7 gets about 136% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whiteface Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Whiteface Mountain.

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.
