How well Upper Mars Hill holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northeast at an average 5°, Upper Mars Hill gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 2,060 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.
