How well Fireberry Glade holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 14°, Fireberry Glade gets about 108% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 11,530 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.
