How well Plaza holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 10°, Plaza gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bromley Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd sunniest named run at Bromley Mountain. Its top sits at 2,310 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
