How well Mountain Glen holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 10°, Mountain Glen gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stowe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 70th sunniest named run at Stowe. Its top sits at 1,520 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.
