How well Second Mile holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northeast at an average 4°, Second Mile gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th sunniest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 2,080 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.
