How well Hollywood holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 22°, Hollywood gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st shadiest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 6,950 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.
