How well Village Run holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 7°, Village Run gets about 126% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarbush does, December through March. That's sunnier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Sugarbush. Its top sits at 2,450 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.
