How well Sleepy Hollow holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 15°, Sleepy Hollow gets about 50% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,270 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.
