How well Cranmer holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Cranmer gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 58th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,680 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.
