How well Sweet Sixteen holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 9°, Sweet Sixteen gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 2,370 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.
