How well Hudson Highway holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 7°, Hudson Highway gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Saddleback Maine does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Saddleback Maine. Its top sits at 3,340 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
