How well Hellroaring holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 21°, Hellroaring gets about 47% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red Lodge does, December through March. That's shadier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Red Lodge. Its top sits at 9,130 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.
