How well Huff & Puff holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 8°, Huff & Puff gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 51st shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 7,250 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.
