How well Jump Hill holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Jump Hill gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th shadiest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 4,760 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.
