How well Eagle Glade holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Eagle Glade gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Angel Fire does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th shadiest named run at Angel Fire. Its top sits at 10,260 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.
