Terminator drops 248 vertical feet over 550 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 37° about 230 feet below the top. That's steeper than 52% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 7th steepest of 76 named runs at Brundage. It faces northwest.

How well Terminator holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 27°, Terminator gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 7,550 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.
