How well Hully Gully holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 19°, Hully Gully gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kirkwood does, December through March. That's sunnier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Kirkwood. Its top sits at 9,560 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.
