How well Misty Maiden holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Misty Maiden gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Telluride does, December through March. That's sunnier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th sunniest named run at Telluride. Its top sits at 10,660 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
