Blue Terry Peak, SD
Welcome drops 243 vertical feet over 1,138 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 760 feet below the top. That's steeper than 32% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 20th steepest of 26 named runs at Terry Peak. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 12°, Welcome gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Terry Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at Terry Peak. Its top sits at 6,490 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.
