How well Jewett holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 16°, Jewett gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bousquet does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Bousquet. Its top sits at 1,770 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
