How well HLH holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing west at an average 19°, HLH gets about 123% of the winter sun that flat ground at Panorama does, December through March. That's sunnier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Panorama. Its top sits at 7,760 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.
