How well Hot Bread holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 17°, Hot Bread gets about 126% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sundance does, December through March. That's sunnier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Sundance. Its top sits at 6,980 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.
