How well Two Point holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 21°, Two Point gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain. Its top sits at 6,570 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.
