How well Sleepy Hollow holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 16°, Sleepy Hollow gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,040 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.
