How well Holumac holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 26°, Holumac gets about 136% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baldy does, December through March. That's sunnier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Mt Baldy. Its top sits at 7,980 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.
