How well Jughandle holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 16°, Jughandle gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cranmore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th sunniest named run at Cranmore Mountain. Its top sits at 1,450 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
