How well Han's Highway holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 4°, Han's Highway gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at 49 Degrees North does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 53rd shadiest named run at 49 Degrees North. Its top sits at 4,150 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.
