How well Jokerville holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 24°, Jokerville gets about 49% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crested Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Crested Butte. Its top sits at 11,000 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.
