How well Hot Dog holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 15°, Hot Dog gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 9,020 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.
