How well Rough Cut Glade holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 7°, Rough Cut Glade gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarloaf does, December through March. That's shadier than 50% of the runs we've measured, and the 139th shadiest named run at Sugarloaf. 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.
