How well Hohmann's holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 18°, Hohmann's gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th sunniest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 7,560 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.
