How well Silver Jack holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 17°, Silver Jack gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at 49 Degrees North does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th shadiest named run at 49 Degrees North. Its top sits at 4,810 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.
