How well Lower Whistler holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Lower Whistler gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Windham Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Windham Mountain. Its top sits at 2,420 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
