How well Night Hawk holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 23°, Night Hawk gets about 41% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 7,380 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.
