How well Sunrise Glade holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 17°, Sunrise Glade gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 2,610 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.
