How well Millsite holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 5°, Millsite gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Terry Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Terry Peak. Its top sits at 6,330 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.
