How well Jim's holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 18°, Jim's gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 98th shadiest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 11,230 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
