How well Megan's Way holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing north at an average 5°, Megan's Way gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain Mi does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain Mi. Its top sits at 960 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
