How well Hokey Pokey holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northwest at an average 4°, Hokey Pokey gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at China Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at China Peak. Its top sits at 7,710 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
