How well Tyro holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 13°, Tyro gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stowe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 77th sunniest named run at Stowe. Its top sits at 2,500 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
