How well Johnny's Glade holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 14°, Johnny's Glade gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd sunniest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 6,250 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.
