Black diamond Terry Peak, SD
Maringo drops 172 vertical feet over 851 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 770 feet below the top. That's steeper than 9% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 17th steepest of 26 named runs at Terry Peak. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 12°, Maringo gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Terry Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Terry Peak. Its top sits at 6,500 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.
