How well Jay Walk holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Jay Walk gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 121st shadiest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 9,190 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.
