How well Hayrick holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 17°, Hayrick gets about 141% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hoodoo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Hoodoo. Its top sits at 5,630 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
