How well Hedges holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 7°, Hedges gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 2,730 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.
