How well Fly Way holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing north at an average 2°, Fly Way gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th sunniest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 1,320 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.
