Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, One Way gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mad River Glen does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Mad River Glen. Its top sits at 1,940 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.
