How well Hog Heaven holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 13°, Hog Heaven gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stevens Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Stevens Pass. Its top sits at 4,850 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.
