How well Three Musketeers Glade holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Three Musketeers Glade gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 1,940 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.
