How well The Jungle holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 16°, The Jungle gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Burke Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th shadiest named run at Burke Mountain. Its top sits at 2,890 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.
