How well Eaton's Run holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 9°, Eaton's Run gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mad River Glen does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Mad River Glen. Its top sits at 1,900 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
