How well Lord Loop holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 11°, Lord Loop gets about 124% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stowe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th sunniest named run at Stowe. Its top sits at 3,580 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
