How well Village Glades holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 16°, Village Glades gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Blue Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Blue Mountain. Its top sits at 1,430 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
