How well Old Wolverine holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 17°, Old Wolverine gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Windham Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Windham Mountain. Its top sits at 2,850 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.
