How well Frank's Flight holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 19°, Frank's Flight gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hoodoo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Hoodoo. Its top sits at 4,980 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
