How well Upper Wolverine holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 22°, Upper Wolverine gets about 52% of the winter sun that flat ground at Windham Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Windham Mountain. Its top sits at 2,940 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.
