Blue Terry Peak, SD
Missing Link drops 541 vertical feet over 2,340 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 250 feet below the top. That's steeper than 37% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 18th steepest of 26 named runs at Terry Peak. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Missing Link gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Terry Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Terry Peak. Its top sits at 6,670 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.
