How well Jackalope holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 9°, Jackalope gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 65th sunniest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 4,760 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.
