How well Hey Diddle Diddle holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 14°, Hey Diddle Diddle gets about 116% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's sunnier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th sunniest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 7,170 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
