How well Bob's Glade holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 13°, Bob's Glade gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 2,460 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
