How well Sleepy Hollow holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 13°, Sleepy Hollow gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Alta does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th sunniest named run at Alta. Its top sits at 10,030 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.
