How well Inverness holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 15°, Inverness gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarbush does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 48th sunniest named run at Sugarbush. Its top sits at 2,670 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.
