How well Mushroom Glade holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 24°, Mushroom Glade gets about 36% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,930 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.
