How well Haskill Slide holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing east at an average 28°, Haskill Slide gets about 122% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitefish does, December through March. That's sunnier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 65th sunniest named run at Whitefish. Its top sits at 6,120 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.
