How well Hideaway holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 3°, Hideaway gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 94th shadiest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 7,860 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.
