How well Heli High holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 24°, Heli High gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Panorama does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 66th shadiest named run at Panorama. Its top sits at 7,710 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
