How well Grommet holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 6°, Grommet gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 1,980 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
