How well Terry's Trail holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Terry's Trail gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Waterville Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Waterville Valley. Its top sits at 2,990 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.
