How well Hut Run holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 12°, Hut Run gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boreal does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Boreal. Its top sits at 7,640 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
