Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 22°, Tate's View gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain. Its top sits at 6,560 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
