How well Holy Terror holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 17°, Holy Terror gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Terry Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Terry Peak. Its top sits at 6,900 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
