How well Home Run holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 5°, Home Run gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stowe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 61st sunniest named run at Stowe. Its top sits at 1,530 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.
