How well Hibernator holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 12°, Hibernator gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Smugglers Notch does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th shadiest named run at Smugglers Notch. Its top sits at 1,670 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.
