How well Sunrise Glades holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 12°, Sunrise Glades gets about 109% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stowe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 48th sunniest named run at Stowe. Its top sits at 2,610 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.
