How well Hut Run holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 9°, Hut Run gets about 127% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd sunniest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 3,280 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.
