How well Stowe Derby Trail holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 6°, Stowe Derby Trail gets about 114% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stowe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd sunniest named run at Stowe. Its top sits at 1,530 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.
