How well Holo Hike holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Holo Hike gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Fernie does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 59th sunniest named run at Fernie. Its top sits at 4,490 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.
