How well Tucks holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 10°, Tucks gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain Mi does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain Mi. Its top sits at 1,050 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.
