How well Hudson holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 15°, Hudson gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 69th sunniest named run at Gore 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.
