How well Lower Tyro holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 9°, Lower Tyro gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stowe does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th shadiest named run at Stowe. Its top sits at 2,020 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.
