How well The Wall holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 22°, The Wall gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Windham Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th shadiest named run at Windham Mountain. Its top sits at 2,980 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.
