How well Heaven's holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 18°, Heaven's gets about 139% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitefish does, December through March. That's sunnier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st sunniest named run at Whitefish. Its top sits at 5,330 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.
