How well Easy Way holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Easy Way gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mad River Glen does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Mad River Glen. Its top sits at 1,870 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.
