How well Foxlair holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 11°, Foxlair gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 68th sunniest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 3,210 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.
