How well Mill Run holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 18°, Mill Run gets about 114% of the winter sun that flat ground at Soldier Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Soldier Mountain. Its top sits at 6,790 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
