How well Miracle Mile holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Miracle Mile gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow Summit does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Snow Summit. Its top sits at 8,140 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.
