How well Holmberg Glade holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Holmberg Glade gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Caberfae Peaks does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Caberfae Peaks. Its top sits at 1,420 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.
