Green Mt Rose, NV
Merlin drops 36 vertical feet over 644 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 7° about 580 feet below the top. That's steeper than 8% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 64th steepest of 65 named runs at Mt Rose. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 3°, Merlin gets about 109% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 8,450 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.
