How well Hoodoos holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 23°, Hoodoos gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eagle Point does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Eagle Point. Its top sits at 10,250 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.
