How well Miller Time holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 34°, Miller Time gets about 34% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's shadier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 8,700 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.
