How well 7 Hills holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 7°, 7 Hills gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baker does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Mt Baker. Its top sits at 4,380 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.
