How well Meadows Learning Area holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northwest at an average 4°, Meadows Learning Area gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ragged Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Ragged Mountain. Its top sits at 1,120 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.
