How well Havey's Dream holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 33°, Havey's Dream gets about 167% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 100% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 6,980 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.
