How well Way Out holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Way Out gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Windham Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th shadiest named run at Windham Mountain. Its top sits at 2,920 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.
