How well Millennium Falcon holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 16°, Millennium Falcon gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at White Pass. Its top sits at 5,870 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.
