How well Wolf's Prey holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 14°, Wolf's Prey gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Windham Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Windham Mountain. Its top sits at 2,780 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.
