How well Stowe Slope holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 16°, Stowe Slope gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Seven Springs does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Seven Springs. Its top sits at 2,840 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.
