How well Hot Sauce holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 21°, Hot Sauce gets about 166% of the winter sun that flat ground at Revelstoke does, December through March. That's sunnier than 100% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Revelstoke. Its top sits at 7,190 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.
