How well Mystic holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 12°, Mystic gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 8,350 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.
