How well Upper Hanna holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 20°, Upper Hanna gets about 142% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's sunnier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd sunniest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 7,490 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.
