How well Hombre holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 18°, Hombre gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 75th shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,860 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.
