How well Sunny Glades holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 23°, Sunny Glades gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 82nd sunniest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 4,640 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.
