How well Guster holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 6°, Guster gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 1,680 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.
