How well Terrain Garden holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 9°, Terrain Garden gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Schweitzer does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th sunniest named run at Schweitzer. Its top sits at 4,710 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.
