Facing southeast at an average 16°, Periwinkle Bowl gets about 119% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mad River Glen does, December through March. That's sunnier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Mad River Glen. Its top sits at 2,030 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.
