How well Heuga Express holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Heuga Express gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hunter Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Hunter Mountain. Its top sits at 3,070 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.
