How well Home Run holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 4°, Home Run gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baker does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Mt Baker. Its top sits at 4,440 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.
