How well Lower Glancer holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Lower Glancer gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarloaf does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 106th shadiest named run at Sugarloaf. Its top sits at 2,490 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
