How well Jump Turn holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 18°, Jump Turn gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,700 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.
