How well Little Milly holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 19°, Little Milly gets about 119% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brighton does, December through March. That's sunnier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Brighton. Its top sits at 9,530 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.
