How well Antelope holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 11°, Antelope gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mad River Glen does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th sunniest named run at Mad River Glen. Its top sits at 3,330 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
