How well Little Jon holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 11°, Little Jon gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Berkshire East does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Berkshire East. Its top sits at 1,030 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.
