How well Milk Run holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 27°, Milk Run gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Solitude does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Solitude. Its top sits at 9,760 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.
