How well The Glen holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 8°, The Glen gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 51st sunniest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 2,820 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.
