How well Jenkins holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 14°, Jenkins gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Caberfae Peaks does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Caberfae Peaks. Its top sits at 1,420 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.
