How well Hallelujah holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 18°, Hallelujah gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Copper does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Copper. Its top sits at 11,840 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.
