How well Hot Dog holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southwest at an average 4°, Hot Dog gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Caberfae Peaks does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Caberfae Peaks. Its top sits at 1,230 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.
