How well May Girl holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northeast at an average 8°, May Girl gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Telluride does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Telluride. Its top sits at 11,250 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.
