How well Hurricane holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 16°, Hurricane gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cranmore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th sunniest named run at Cranmore Mountain. Its top sits at 1,680 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
